Does anyone have any idea what axle this is? I need to source bits and pieces for it, but im not sure what it is...

Any idea what the flange will be?

Could be a Mk1/2 Cortina, Corsair etc. The later solid ford axles, the diff wes removed from the rear not the front like this one.

How about BMC as fitted to 98% of Formula 750 cars?

Measure the half shaft wheel PCD nb without any adaptors

If it is 4 stud on 4" PCD with 3/8" wheel studs its BMC A series (nb not just fitted to cars with the A series engine). As already said this was pretty well standard fitting in most B Class Clubman cars.

if its 4.25" PCD it is probably Ford English (Timpkin Banjo) as fitted to Cortina MK1 or MK2 , Corsair, Escort , Ford Classic & Capri Classic, some Capris.


It could also be off say a Hillman Hunter or Marina or Toledo but much less likely

does this mean your not selling after all?

came to your senses...

A couple of my friends found out I was selling it and "persuaded" me that it was a bad idea....


The plan now, rather than a full rebuild, is to just fit the new enging and check that the brakes etc work properly....Might just be able to afford that!
